1 - ESCAPEFROMREALITY has earned a well-deserved rest since back-to-back
stakes including a neck loss to Triple Crown contender Revolutionary. Resumes
campaign in soft spot. MARRIEDTOTHEMUSIC gets another furlong after sizzling
1:08.43 victory over 6 furlongs. LEILANI'S TICKET, favored in past three races,
has been in the exacta in 7 of 13 dashes.

2 - WE MISS ARTIE working like clockwork for Pletcher, who wins 32% of the
time with first-time starters and 34% of the time with 2-year-olds. Would be no
surprise if ALL IN BLUE makes it an all-Pletcher exacta.

PATENT is main threat to top pair.

3 - NATIVE SINGER closed well after being bumped at the start. Bred for
speed. Reverses finish with BERNARDO. STREET LORD is drilling sharply.

4 - DISCREET MARQ makes up for being DQ'd in Grade 2 Saints Point against
softer state breds. ROSES FOR ROMNEY is a neck shy of having won three in a row
since going on Lasix. MOONLIT SONNET closes fast as long as race stays on
lawn.

5 - RICHIES PARTY GIRL (BEST BET) gets big rider switch to Rosario after
breaking poorly at 8-5 in debut. AINTEASYBEINGGREEN is flying in the mornings
for first start for 2-year-old training star Ward. KELLY'S PRIZE has been
posting steady drills.

6 - WHITE CRANE only needs a speed duel to launch closing kick. Gets it
with POLAN and AH GAGA battling for the front end.

7 - NORMANDY, 2 of 3 on Belmont lawn, may have been stolen by Jacobson out
of the claim box for $25,000 from Clement. That rarely happens. PRINCESS MILLIE
picks up Rosario after rapid workout. LET THE KITTEN RUN, a beaten 7-5 shot, has
to have the race stay on the turf.

8 - SAMITAR drops from five consecutive graded stakes after stumbling at
the start in last. FUTURE GENERATION returns from West Coast to Belmont where
she was a winner by 5 3/4 lengths. SILVER SCREAMER has a longshot chance
of getting loose on the lead.

9 - DATA LINK, a winner of 8 of 15 on the grass, outclasses there. Last two
losses came against Horse-of-the Year Wise Dan sandwiched around two romps.
POLITICALLYCORRECT is threat if there are a bunch of scratches and race exits
grass.BIG SCREEN tried to avenge disqualification from first as speed of the
speed. LUBASH was caught four wide.

10 - SCOTUS takes big drop as the longer priced runner of two Jacobson
entries. Prays for slop. GRAND RAPPORT, the other Jacobson runner, has been idle
since Oct., but would thrive on yielding grass. RADIOHEAD drops after moving
into Canani's barn.
